I was at the bottom of a pile after a tackle in the CBA/North football game in 1960. Earnie was there also. He saw a leg that belonged to a CBA guy. He did the only thing he could do. He bit it. I still have the teeth marks. Earnie will be missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest sympathy to his family.
